Customer Review

If like me you like to develop your digital raw file, the calibration probe is essential to avoid disappointment during printing in the labs pictures and also avoid 10000photos developed since 2 years do not have the right colors!
The probe and the software perform their proper function and measurement of speed and profile creation are significant. If you are a little bit picky about the result, take the pro version which allows you to test the quality of the calibration by measuring the deltaE (difference between digital color and the color emitted by your monitor) either charters or on mosaic of colors extracted from a photo. This can be especially interesting for those who want to achieve a calibration in order to edit a specific photo and wished to be sure of the colors displayed.
The software is not too complicated, certe record is very, and too laconic, but you will find all the necessary aids online. I advise you especially read about the mastery of color in the digital stream, as the software complexity of impression comes primarily from our misunderstanding of the issue. Once documented, the set of options is a joy.
It is destabilizing the beginning to think that the first calibration will not be good and surely not the last. Indeed, try a certain number of parameters to find the combination that allows the probe and software to find the best ICC profile for your monitor, the one that give the Delta E the lowest. And again the PRO version allows to find for sure the right settings. After trying it, it is little more without it.

I take off a star for the following:
- Hardware: I find the USB cable of the probe and its very end attaches to the very robust probe, I fear he will not take the time saw the manipulation must be realized with the probe. The future will tell me.
- Software: Can not display and compare the GAMUT of the resulting screen with the new profile, or I have not found it yet. It would have been interesting to check the color range displayable by the screen.
- Software: was it would be interesting to have a color measurement function, for example to measure the color of a photographing charter to ensure that the profile of the camera or the editing of either coherent actual colors.

Hint: I asked in my first calibration of the interest that the user sets the white point temperature, because depending on the selected value it fired all colors toward red or toward blue, here I am well under me who wanted me the probe shows the true color .... So to those who ask me the same question, the answer that satisfies me the most is this: The températeur white point should be chosen according to how you wish to observe the results of your photos. If you always watch your digital photos printed on paper and in an incandescent lamp, while prévoyer a warm temperature. In most cases I keep my digital photos on my PC and I observed in daylight even for draw. So I chose a temperature of 6500K which has the advantage of being defined for the sRGB space, the most used for web and digital space.
